229 West 139th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

229 West 139th Street is a 4-story, 4-unit Class A residential building in Harlem, owned by Colette Hayes and constructed in 1920. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections over the past several years, with successful inspections occurring approximately every six months between 2018 and 2025, demonstrating effective pest management practices.

However, the property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations. Despite these violations, the most recent bedbug reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023 showed no infested or previously infested units, suggesting that while the reporting compliance issues occurred, the actual bedbug infestation situation appears to have been effectively managed.

The building's most recent inspection data indicates an improvement in regulatory compliance, with no outstanding violations on record as of 2025. The property has maintained its Class A status since being reclassified, and the regular rodent inspection passes throughout the years suggest a generally well-maintained building with proactive management in terms of pest control. The repeated bedbug report violations, while concerning from a compliance perspective, have not coincided with documented infestations based on the bedbug reporting history.
